Intro: C# G# D#m F# Verse 1:

C#
Day after day

G#           D#m
I try to explain You

D#m            F#     
Like I can contain You

In so many words

C#          G#
You are the ocean

G#             D#m
And I'm on the shore line

           F#
Thinking I know You

                  A#m
Like You could be learned

Pre-Chorus:

G#            A#m
It's so amazing

       G#           F#
That You'd ever save me

Chorus:

C#
I thought I knew You're face

G#
I thought I tasted grace

D#m                    F#
But I have never felt anything close to this

C#
Just when I'd seen it all

G#
New mercy breaks the door

D#m                  F#
With my eyes opened wide

                  C#
It feels like the first time, first time

G#                D#m                  F#
It feels like the first time, first time

Verse 2:

C#
After all of my searching

G#          D#m
All of my reaching

              F#
I'm left with nothing

Nothing of worth

C#
You treasure the broken

G#
Over and over

D#m          F#                   A#m
Give me a hope that can never be earned

PRE-CHORUS CHORUS Bridge:

            C#
And You're beauty, no eye has seen

      A#m
Your majesty, overwhelm me

G#                                  F#
Your love for me is healing, You're God

Chorus:

C#
I thought I knew You're face

G#                       D#m
I thought I tasted grace

F#                     
But I have never felt anything close to this

C#
Just when I'd seen it all

G#
New mercy breaks the door

D#m            F#
With my eyes opened wide

                      C#
I feel alive for the first time, first time

G#                D#m                    F#
It feels like the first time, first time

                 C#                    G#
I can see for the first time, first time

              D#m          F#  
Just like the first time
